PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — At least four Philadelphia police officers were shot in Philadelphia’s Nicetown-Tioga section and rushed to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon.

Mayor Jim Kenney and Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross are heading to Temple University Hospital.
Chopper 3 was over the scene where police could be seen taking a man into custody. It’s not clear what the man’s role was in the incident.
Police say the shooting happened on the 3700 block of North 15th Street, where it’s still an active scene.
Police were first called to the scene for narcotics activity, according to Philadelphia Police Capt. Sekou Kinebrew.
Sources tell CBS3 that the scene is sheer chaos as officers were taking fire. Video from Chopper 3 shows officers with guns drawn at the scene.

The scene of the shooting is right down the street from Temple Hospital.

There is a large police presence and citizens are advised to avoid the area. Several blocks around the scene have been cordoned off. Most of North Philadelphia is in gridlock due to the police presence.
Lockdown is in effect for Health Sciences Center Campus. Seek shelter. Secure doors. Be silent. Be still. Police are responding.

Temple University says a lockdown is in effect for the Health Sciences Center Campus due to the police presence.

In N. Philly gun standoff, alleged cop shooter Maurice Hill has a long criminal history
Fella should have been executed a long time ago...

Shooter surrenders, is in custody.
Yeah, “More gun laws and red flags would have prevented the shooting today in Philadelphia”.... (sarcasm)
Good movie plot.

I grew up not far from there.
It was rough back then, too. Worse now.

Does anyone know where the mother and the child are?
Yep. They’ve destroyed Upper Darby, Darby, Yeadon, Ridley Park... Chester is obviously the biggest dump in DelCo.
Philly still has one I saw on the video.

Yes I saw that when you did right after my post. Agree that it looks like a tough regular armored police vehicle.
I think these will become “high mileage” items at police stations everywhere as certain people riot. (Between the lines: the people are angry suburban women in garden clubs.)

A NOTAM just went up...
and then he immediately posted the link to the NOTAM (at 122)

You posted in response to Mewzilla (at 156):
Stupidist post in the history of FR
I responded (at 161), asking you why you thought what Mewzilla posted was "stupidist", and then simply pointed out that Mewzilla provided information that a NOTAM ("Notice to airmen"} existed, along with a link to the actual NOTAM on the FAA website in "The next post, by the same poster".
You seem to have had trouble following that series of comments in the thread. It has nothing to do with Charmin, and I am sorry if you are confused.
Public records show that he has been arrested about a dozen times since turning 18, and convicted six times on charges that involved illegal possession of guns, drug dealing, and aggravated assault. He has been in and out of prison; the longest sentence handed him came in 2010, when a federal judge gave him a 55-month term.
These areas will only get a massive response from military trained SWAT TEAMS only.
They both suck now too.
would someone please turn off the camera in this guy’s cell.
